The firewater distiller's daughter, Elena, longs to be a poet. After a chance encounter with Daniel Arcilla, Cuba's most important poet, she wins a national poetry prize and leaves Piedra Negra behind for Havana. There, she encounters a population adjusting to a new way of life post-revolution: spies with secret meetings and black marketeers dealing with censorship. Full of outlandish humor and insights into an often contradictory and Kafkaesque regime, author Pablo Medina brings 1960s Cuba to life through the eyes of Elena. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poetry $x Competitions $z Cuba. 650 0 $a Cubans $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Havana (Cuba) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Farrell, Cynthia, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12393720 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781974967698_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190905012228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B92FB04ACFA211E9B77D544F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
